Original tires, breaks & shocks were on the vehicle. The dealership told me they were new. I had this car for a year. The car was sold $19,000 overpriced and now it's worth 13,000.00.

I live on a dirt road. When the road is wet, the wheels collect mud around the rear surface while driving, then the mud settles to the bottom while the car is stationary, dries, and throws the wheels out of balance. Sometimes the wheels are so badly unbalanced they shake violently above 50 mph and is impossible to drive safely at highway speeds. This began happening almost immediately after purchasing the car new in 2016. I took the car to the dealer for inspection and repair of this problem several times. Their solution was to remove, wash and remount the wheels. They did it for free twice but then informed me they would charge me each subsequent time this service is needed. This problem is obviously a recurring problem and has required repair several times since I stopped going to the dealer, but the dealer refuses to acknowledge that this is a chronic problem or safety issue. I contacted american Honda and they told me the same, stating their wheels meet all legal requirements. As a former auto mechanic, I believe unbalanced, skipping wheels are a serious safety concern. So, every month or two, or whenever I need to do freeway driving, I have to jack up the car, remove the wheels, power wash the dry dirt from the back sides, and replace them to achieve balance and get the vibrating and bouncing to stop. I have never owned a car or heard of a car where this is a reasonable maintenance expectation that a mfr. Or dealer expects an owner to take on. This has been extremely frustrating, and I believe these wheels are poorly designed and a safety issue.

While driving my Honda Hr-V 2016 vehicle at 70 mph on us-175 in kaufman, Texas, the vehicle suddenly span out of control and turned counterclockwise 360 degrees for two full rotations until being stopped by slamming into the guardrail. The vehicle was equipped by Honda with Michelin primacy mxv4 (dot B33F 01vx 2116) P215/55 R17 94V tires. The right rear tire had exploded despite having been measured to be at normal pressure just one day earlier. The left front rim and the right rear tire were badly damaged.

T.P.M.S. - light comes on regularly, without tires being at incorrect pressures. Random occurrences sometimes tires are low, sometimes they are perfectly set. This is a "safety issue" and concerns me, as this could cause a wreck. The tire pressue monitoring system is faulty, Honda repair facilities have been unable to correct the issue. I have repeatedly taken it to two (2) Honda dealerships' service departments - one in brunswick, Georgia (nalley Honda), and the other was in loves park, Illinois (napleton Honda). Technicians and service managers in both places have stated that Honda "does not have a fix for the issue". I have advised american division of Honda's corporate office in California concerning this issue. This is an ongoing problem, wherein Honda still does not have a fix for the problem. Their TPMS system on the 2016 Honda Hr-V is unsafe, unreliable and will lead to crashes. Thus far, I have been told to simply "perform a reset" if the dashboard light irritates me...

Dec. 30, 2015 I purchased a Honda Hr-V LX, on Jan. 9, 2016 2:34 a.M. I was driving home on a city street and suddenly the drivers side steering wheel airbag deployed unexpectedly causing my view to be obstructed, resulting in the automobile leaving the road causing extensive damage to the right side front & back wheels, tires, wheel assembly and undercarriage. A trucker witness the event and immediately called the police. He stayed with me because I quickly got out of the car since I thought it was on fire due to a strong fire odor a smoke. I've never experience anything like this before until my mother arrived. At 2:50 a.M. 2- birmingham police officers surveyed the car and issued an incident report for damage since no accident took place, meaning I didn't hit anyone or anything and no body damage was seen, I was about 5-mins from home. I was more shaken up that injured. My nose was just sore for several days and did not require medical attention. Since my new Honda was not drive-able, the aaa road service was called, the towing service arrived at 4:10 a.M. and I had it towed backs to to the dealership where I purchased it. They said that this was highly unusual, I must have hit a pot hole in the road that caused the air bag to deploy. The road in questioned that I was on is a newly paved road, no the pot hole assumption didn't ring true. There was thought a pothole leaving the dealership December 30, 2015 when I purchased the car and the airbag did not deploy then. I contacted Honda America and was advised to file a claim with my automobile insurance company. My car is still at the collision shop with total damages $9,282.92. I will be glad to furnish you with the Honda case number: 04389710 & police incident number:.2016-00005625, and alfa claims number:
